So the Supreme Court of the United States gave New Jersey residents what they've been hoping for since 2011, when they went to the polls and approved a referendum to amend the state constitution and bring sports wagering to the Garden State.

Now all anyone wants to know know is when they will be able to throw some money down on the Yankees or Mets.

While lawmakers in Trenton are working on legislation that will provide the framework for sports wagering in the state, it could happen even before that process is complete at Monmouth Park.

Here's a few basic facts about what the historic events in Washington on Monday mean locally:

When: With betting allowed at race tracks and casinos, Monmouth Park expects to be open in about two weeks, even without legislation from Trenton. Monmouth Park boss Dennis Drazin indicated state Senate president Steve Sweeney told him he would not stop the track from opening. Meadowlands operator Jeff Gural said Monday he is targeting the start of the NFL season to start taking bets.

What: At Monmouth Park, which is partnering with British betting giant William Hill, basked in Las Vegas in the United State, you will be able to wager on any games you can bet on in Las Vegas, from MLB and the NBA, to the NFL, NHL, NCAA games and European soccer.

How: Sports wagering at Monmouth Park will take place in the William Hill Sports Bar, which is being transformed into a sports book that extends into the grandstand. Track officials also plan on having online wagering up and running quickly.

What can't you bet on?: You will not be able to bet on games involving New Jersey college teams, like a Rutgers football game or Seton Hall basketball game.
